Achievements
The pilot project reached a total of 60 pupils and 12 teachers from six schools in the Pitas, Kudat and Kota Marudu districts in Sabah. As part of Maxis’ Bridging Communities Programme, Maxis organised two camps so far in an effort to bridge the digital gap through the use of wireless connectivity with computers, very small aperture terminal (VSAT) technology and MEASAT satellite services.
Overall, the project aimed to cover 220 schools in East Malaysia within two years, with plans to expand the camps in multiple locations in the future to Sarawak and Perlis.
